Default What do you do that winds other drivers up?

I know we are all quick to whinge at other people but lets turn the spotlight on ourselves. What do you do that annoys or winds up other drivers?

Me oh ok then! I do 30 in the town fastidiously (a real 30 not the speedo 30 though ). I also am cautious at junctions. If someone is on my tail I slow and speed up till they get fed up and drive at a safe distance!

my mums mates son was driving recently, you could describe him as a chav, and he was hanging out the window shouting at a bloke and i quote his wise choice of words ''come on, i'll f*****g race you ya c**t''

turns out that the chap tootling along was an plain clothed detective inspector.

one word. muppet.

Default Re: What do you do that winds other drivers up?

im like a few slowing down if someones tailgating but im just as bad if someone pulls out in front at the last min i m basically pushing them along until they decide to get the speed up then back off.
have you ever noticed the people that pull out in front are the ones who never bother to put the foot down

Default Re: What do you do that winds other drivers up?

I hate tailgaters. I am very observant of urban speed limits, often going slower than posted 30 if necessary. Sit and wait at exactly 30 until the main road limit sign is passed. Then toe down in fourth (diesel engine, so loads of shove even at under 1500rpm) and watch 'em disappear in the mirror. If you want a really good result then use third as you get a nice sooty cloud from the exhaust too.

When they finally catch up again, I slow back down to exactly the posted limit.

And off we go again!!



Worst offenders are generally females. This is not me being sexist, it's just obseravtion and reporting facts.

And they do it in the silliest little tiny low powered and poorly braked cars.

Default Re: What do you do that winds other drivers up?

In Turkey the driving is so bad you would not beleive it. Even the cops show very little courtsey or consideration to other road users.I make a point of doing the opposite when ever the chance presents itself. The classic is observing the speed limit on a three lane highway,ccept its in the city and the limit is 70kph and I pull into the fast lane and hold it there coz I know theres a radar trap upahead. Tommy Turk comes up and flashes me expecting me to pull over. In the end he overtakes on the inside just before the radar!
Magic! another one is stalling at the lights in front of a taxi. God I love that! the missus goes barmy when I stall three times on the trot and slip through the lights leaving the yellow devil sitting there. God I love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!
